Freestanding Pergola with Retractable Canopy 3m x 4m

It was easy enough to put together and looks great. Great value for the price point

i got the product quickly . When I started to assemble it the anchor bolts are not a standard size so options was a special size mason drill or std ramset bolts so opted for bolts , Next problem instruction RUBBISH swapped parts around about 3 times tie off point for rope at top of frame need steps to reach it . The paint is very easy to scratch on assembly but price wise nothing comes close unless just an umbrella.

We bought this as reviews said it would be great even in exposed areas. Well it's not. The stress on the little eyelets means that very quickly one of them broke. You have to take off the cloth part if you don't wamt it rattling and starting to twist. In the recent win not the high one but the one on the Tuesday we came home and thw pergola was folded. And this was without the shade cloth on it. It does make lots of noise when it's even a bit windy so I would not recommend for any Wellington people unless super sheltered. We really hoped we would get more life out of this. We had to treat it with rust remover and spray paint in some areas as well. Definetly not long lasting.

Great product at a great price. Instructions could be better but we got there. Looks good in our outdoor fire area. The fabric flaps around in the wind abit but that's expected, just secure it with bungee rope or similar if high winds are expected. Later on we will take that off and screw clear light on top. Can't get better for the price highly recommend.

We purchased this some time ago now. We live in a high wind area and thought, well, if it blows away we haven't wasted much money. We were wrong. We always fold back the blinds after use and clamp them tight at the ends with with bungie ties. Have had winds upto 145k come through and it's still perfect.

Great pergola, easy to assemble, and great-looking. However, the slide sometimes catches when opening and closing. The holes in the center that hold the roof are coming off, requiring me to secure them with zip ties. The rope's positioning is not ideal because it is too high. Lastly, the Velcro cover on top of the pergola, covering the roof, collects water after rain; I'm unsure how to fix this.

What a difference this has made to our courtyard. Reasonably easy to assemble would recommend this product to anybody wanting an elegant shaded space without those pesky umbrellas. Oh and by the way Tradetested were excellent to deal with and prompt delivery.

Quick and easy to put up in an afternoon with a couple of people helping - a great shelter and gives excellent coverage and shade. Can be a bit creaky with wind

Nice little pergola and having the canopy to slide back and forth is great. Unfortunately the canopy doesn't slide easily and gets stuck alot which is annoying. The cover that is meant to stop rain collecting when cover isn't out doesn't stay on well, a little wind and its blown off. We left the canopy opened over night and it rained and unfortunately the canopy filled with water and it actually broke the frame from the weight of the water, and we had to get a replacement frame piece! Disappointing but it is better than no cover and great to sit in the garden in the shade. Think we have just been unlucky with it!

Is not suitable for windy locations even with canopy withdrawn. Structured would bend in the wind so have added corner bracket to add strength.
